all. the issue is the same or similar there is a huge decision on the market as we will start this military withdrawal from the land what the state holds for the kurds and if the kurds strive towards an

independent state why destroy. all she's top stories of the week a closely rescue the new releases the twelve billion euro trying to should break from last year's bailout package of dusting and women and greek default there was violence on the streets during the week an response to the false telling she planned needed to secure the deal. hundreds of thousands of public sector workers take part in a one day national strike across the u.k. over government cuts and wants to slash their pensions and other benefits. good good if the government knew going into control libya. is the only good this is the target and. the libyans will not allow them to do that. so the fight will continue . also exclusively to use coke adopted son saif al islam this as nature's goal is to control b.b. and its resources and their minds around some bad strikes on the country. that are

the activists from the freedom for carrying humanitarian aid to the palestinians in gaza demanding explanations from the greek cost of sorties which have banned vessels from leaving ports they believe the decision was made under pressure from a zero and the us. hello welcome to the program this is aussie's weekly review i mean you know volatile main story now greece is to get its latest pay out from the in the next two weeks according to your own finance ministers and they also plan to focus on discussing a second bailout. for the country their release of the twelve billion euro trying to avert a default came however at a price which has outraged the greek public the greek parliament passed a radical step which he plans demanded by the international monetary fund including

a sell off for state assets and swift budget cuts hoped to net almost eighty billion euro m.p.'s narrative by the measures despite widespread public opposition with protesters saying the current standards ordinary people are not responsible for the economic mess three days of demonstrations left hundreds injured as slashed with police response clashed rather with police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades and financial journalist dimitri kovtun is has been with protesters in time was square the focal point of the rest. i think the only real option for them right now for the protesters and for the greek people is if some sort of political option or movement develops out of a society out of the ranks of ordinary people who are intelligent or capable who come from universities who have some idea of what the country needs according to scholars here in greece well constitutional scholars and former members of the government they claim that the measure complete unconstitutional the first place because you need one hundred eighty members of parliament to pass this sort of

legislation first of all second of all they can pass whatever they like but if the people don't agree to it and the people are not willing to sit down and take it it doesn't really matter what they pass and that's what we're seeing here right now what you're looking to have happen is you're you're going to see a fall discovered at some point i said if things go it really of the violence is a really big issue because if if the violence if this results in casualties not just massive injuries then that's going to that's going to lead to a collapse of this government will that mean that the next government will come in and actually do something productive maybe maybe not but then that governments have to fall to i don't see the people in this country lying down there's a report that the head of the pharmaceutical national pharmaceutical station here in greece is going to be filing a lawsuit along with other people against the government for use of illegal substances because these weren't just it was just tear gas there were other chemicals including us fixating agents and that's why you see a lot of people here i saw them myself and a lot of people other people saw them passing out not being able to breathe people inside the metro station not being able to breathe the hospital for that reason

people are very angry here and a very upset and they understand what's going on and understand these measures are not going to help them and their future. and the fear that the cash one how by crook. i'll give that the money will be used to pay off banks now get people. on the streets of voices of discontent and quoting now that. it's a war we did not create this bit so it all going to pay for this that we want to dig out. it's going. continues to fight against economic ruin second bailout. an attempt to prevent greece from defaulting on its previous loan repayment that the greek people will be seeing a penny. of this buyout money actually comes into the greek economy it all goes out interest payments and repayments also battles on save the banks and prevent a large scale financial crisis for the people the price is simply too high very see

their incomes going down they see taxes taxes taxes and nothing else their money does not go to a very early corner me a year is struggling against harsher sterett he measures has meant the government now faces an electorate opposed to another bailout there's been a lot of people asking when the troika the i.m.f. european central bank and the e.u. provided that initial to the tune of one hundred ten billion euros going to look past the bad move on to plan b. because the thought the quest to manage another bailout package and pay back that loan for a lot of people is that they are realistic in fact when it comes to the choice many people now in greece simply don't want their help getting them actions is being born as a self-interest try. to get as much as they can show to get out there are going to get all this that. the i mean.

they are going to give almost everything in the bailout would certainly come as a high cost for the cuts in public spending raising taxes and an aggressive privatization program that would mean the sales many greek public assets one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit on their faulty lending policies. there's a holy alarm of politicians and bankers versus ordinary people it's a fight that the people say they're not prepared to. r.t. athens. greece was not the only country aggrieved by approaches this week as u.k. public sector workers went on strike on thursday disrupting schools and pools and other services hundreds of thousands of union members to part demanding the

conservative liberal coalition government rethinks plans to combat pensions as it slashes eighty billion pounds equivalent to one hundred thirty billion dollars from public spending and that was paid. down tools up with industrial action an autumn of discontent starts here this time it's the public sector workers walking out on happy with the planned reform of their pensions which they say will see them paying a lot more and getting a lot less but i kept saying it was probably meant. that if i did something i was familiar with seventy people acted like yeah i think it's fair to take the changes that i may consider pensions or very necessary to face a way to address it so i think we do need to make cutbacks in sad things are being . tried and tried to teach extensions by sight much as it is to these people do a huge variety of key work from teaches and lecturers to air traffic controllers

and coast guards unisons the u.k.'s biggest public sector trade union deputy chief ball babil a says his one point three million members already a prolonged industrial action where almost a war footing we've got thirty million pounds set aside and we've got a strategy work but i must stress that's not what we want to do we want to talk to the government and negotiate a sensible package nor the ridiculous package of their proposal at the moment that package involves raising the retirement age from sixty to sixty six raising pension contributions by workers and having payouts based on average career earnings rather than final salary the unions admit public support is fundamental the government's very unlikely to change its mind about reforms if the public at large doesn't back the unions but that's by no means

a short public sector workers do already get very generous pensions and the cost of those pensions is very much under the carpets and the burden falls on to the next generation a great is absolutely essential that public sector pay. reform don't even after they're reformed public sector workers will get solved at a pensions and u.s. presence or to workers the unions want to apply enough pressure to force the government to change its mind and it's no stranger to you turns it was hell bent on reforming the health service too until it decided to take longer to think about it causing friction in the coalition the government's doing this to reduce the current fifty billion dollar pension bill but it may be cutting off its nose to spite its face that the wider issue here according to the new u.k. pension fund future they've been a part of me public sector workers no don't think that pensions are what while they may stop contributing to that if there was a widespread withdrawal pension funds would collapse and that would leave u.k.

p.-l. of the very shores of investment just what it means that more than ever lower and it ought to be loved. and political activist chris knight says the bankers are to blame for the state of britain's finances but if public resistance continues it could threaten the government. what's happening here is that a crisis caused by bankers and who the politicians in their pocket is what they're those politicians are making us as if. hardworking teachers hardworking civil servants hardworking lecturers and i and others are responsible for this crisis we all know that's not true so let's deal with it let's deal with the with the problem at its roots let's crack down on what i regard as actually electoral fraud and and criminal activity we have already seen that discovered is actually very weak i mean nobody voted for it that's from the start with and it has already made a couple u. turn so we definitely think we can force a u.

turn on this one and what's going to happen of course is that it's not going to be just white collar workers we're building tool it looks as if the government doesn't back down to vote for something that was something an absolutely enormous we're building towards something we haven't seen in this country since ninety twenty six a general strike and that's going to be very powerful and the government will will will will fall if it comes to that. this is our c.n.n. still to come this hour the aftermath of japan's biggest nuclear disaster. there are no concrete boundaries that can clearly guarantee your safety one example is this books like a beautiful lush green valley behind me but in fact this is the very verge of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone that the government has set up. the japanese people lose faith in their government as they accuse it of being reckless for their safety . nature says it's increasing airstrikes in western the be able rebel say they are advancing fire into territories that colonel gadhafi forces still control the alliance says that as trikes are aimed only at military targets but

dozens of people have fled from their homes in fear meanwhile turkey has followed a number of other nato member states declaring its recognizing the rebels as the true representatives of libya's people but as yet there's no sign of an end to the conflict that rebels continue to reject the african union's offer to arrange talks between them and conduct his government. reports now from the front line. the road from the capital tripoli to is lined with the aftermath of war towns abandoned as the population. this is what's left of the civilian airport in the siege of. home to one of the country's key oil refineries the last plane took off from this runway just hours before it was hate. to say so it's only hitting the targets of military value well call say these telecommunications towers so thick to stop the. destroyer in a time now this is

a safe place to strikes and they've also accidentally. two cars and killed two civilians since there is no t.v. in this area and as we can see phone light has also been disrupted. there is no water and no electricity what used to be heaven this man says has become hell what was home now susan familiar. i have nine children and i send them all to my relatives abroad i don't want them to see their mother and says you condition. from the small pool not far from bright gas used to flow to europe. we used to produce fuel to send it to them and now see they destroy it all this is terrible and ridiculous at the same time the closer you get to the front line the more you feel it you can hear the war and you can even read it on

a tuesday jobs just before the bombs arrive. this runs has as you can see there is a sign here in arabic but nato is here in libya to enforce and i'll fly zone over the country to protect civilians on the other side there is another sign also in arabic saying that nato can attack any place at any time. this any time happened three times over several hours while we were feeling really good labor's major parties where the frontline was dividing the country into two parts into to smear one side is going to put one flashpoint between the rebels and gadhafi supporters it's a very important point to quote case gets in a firm hand on this town would mean taking control over the country's economy all facilities seem to be a red target that nato bombs never land on while it looks like the civilian population can hardly skate. they were like my family not just going to the shop to

buy some foods and this happened six of them died i couldn't believe it and this used to be a restaurant for all companies staff where friends gathered after work. we were eating with my colleagues then there was a blast we knew what it was we tried to help those who were trapped but then the helicopters came and started to shoot at us. from one street to another the stories are repeated. problemo. every madam every day i believe it did them being a big killed or civilians but there has been no. contributions from libya well those voices become more and more frequent is the sound of exploding bombs and warplanes that drowns them. out t. tripoli. moscow's alarmed by the ambiguous interpretation of the un security council resolution on libya the concern has been grave that

a meeting between russian and french foreign ministers after paris admitted supplying weapons to the rebels is the first time since the campaign began that a nato member has owned up to air lifting arms to the country francis says the framework of the resolution allows for all means when it comes to protecting peaceful civilians something russia calls an abuse of the fake wording the document . lucita resolution nine hundred seventy three contains chapter four which allows anyone to do anything from this very chapter it was the cause of our problems with the mandate in all other aspects we support it and as we have warned now we're facing rather unpleasant situations but it can be interpreted in most different ways i think moscow and paris and other u.n. security council members are interested for the body to release concise documents to the international law does not need to put up with ambiguity. the african union is calling on member states to ignore their arrest warrant issued in the hague this

week against colonel gadhafi if doesn't abide by the international criminal court's request believin leader would be able to evade prosecution by staying in neighboring countries chris agreeing to meet colonel gadhafi son was also wanted whole war crimes save is linus as they war and as a sham after nato is attempts to kill him and his family. this core of is it is it is it became us court come on the accuse me of killing people or. the sentence against. the capital punishment so they decided to kill and i did kill my brother and destroy the house so this is me to excuse so now you are talking about arrest me three months ago and so to kill me and you are after me every day you are trying to find me on to give me over there my brother so is the number two just to tell you that it's a fake court. they are trying to negotiate with us

a culture that is generally non-confrontational and obedient when dozens take to the streets of tokyo against nuclear energy it is a serious sign of discontent if after this crisis it is true that the people are more conscious and we need to take advantage of it this is the first time since the second world war the japanese people have no trust in the government he was a coastal city devastated by the earthquake the tsunami and on the edge of the radiation exclusion zone is starting on the long road to recovery but the people living here say the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall iraq city they said different things like perfect or they said different things and the government is a different base. they are not together the. part of the country. they are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientist to know that large doses of radiation given in one blast is

a significant health threat but they say there isn't enough information about long term exposure to lower doses of radiation and the types of damage it can do if you check it here. at ideation level and then you kick the breeze in when you take water you always feel half different values because it's so close and it's so changing so you can hardly say but it's really exceeds what a normal person would have by year one of the frightening things about this entire incident is that there are no concrete boundaries that can clearly guarantee your safety one example is this looks like a beautiful lush green valley behind me but in fact this is the very head of the twenty kilometer exclusion zone that the government has set up in fact we're trying to get a little bit closer but we're escorted out by a police officer and a topic of personal now although this is supposed to be a safe area the radiation levels here are still between seven and ten times higher than normal weather from misinformation or mis understanding that people who live

in the affected areas don't always take the proper precautions here a volunteer works to clean up toxic radioactive hot spots with hardly any protection at all a problem that some say is compounded by government propaganda accentuating the benefits while neglecting to inform about the dangers of nuclear waste. the first thing the government should do is let the citizens know the real cost of nuclear energy until now the priority has been to profit from energy the p.r. machine of the government has been emphasising the benefit of nuclear energy and the citizens have been brainwashed to believe it now in the wake of an international crisis and there are allegations that the government and the power companies have worked out a deal to help each other and that the media. has been bought off the t.v. channels need the money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies pay a lot without this money they cannot survive and for that reason i have to shut up about the situation the newspapers have this problem as well a move that if true keeps the important information hidden from the people saving
